Barcelona begin their journey in the 2023-24 Champions League knockout stages when they face Napoli in the first leg of their Round of 16 tie at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples on Wednesday, and the Catalans will be looking for a positive result to take back home for the second leg at the Montjuïc Olympic Stadium in three weeks.
The Catalans will be considered slight favorites given Napoli’s chaotic season, but the Italian champions will look to take advantage of the home crowd to cause Barça problems and make the Blaugrana’s job in the second leg a lot harder.
